Will try to paint it all white first then, we'll see how far I get Smile

Added xenon to the setup... since my GF's using the H4 set, I was bound to buy myself a H1 set too Razz

The difference, left is xenon

Oh I see the fogs weren't completely up to speed yet...

The HIDs look a lot better for sure! Makes a good match to the LEDs. Plus, those head lights need HIDs because otherwise you can't see lol.

True that, the light was awful! But now... Wink

Still need to do you project with the help of a big order at TRS tho Wink

Love the FX-R's!

Oh right, I can never keep track of what you are doing to which head lights lol. Someone has put a down payment on my sig head lights, I'll be shipping them out soon.

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Wed May 16, 2012 10:32 pm

hehehehe, yes I have loads of projects running nowadays (small and big alike). And apart from all that I'm still trying to save up for a blacktop Rolling Eyes

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:33 pm

Pffff... blowing the dust off again! Haven't had much time to spend on my ride lately. I have however (nice and tight I might add) built in a CVA-1003r (I know it's a legacy unit Laughing

) and NVE-077PS and CHA-S624 in my GF's car. The wiring is damn nice Razz

Anyways, just went to the dealers' and bought myself a cylinder kit! Smile

I'll be tending to the brakes next week I suppose.

Car looks good! Nice Colour and love the front Smile

Altough, i have a boring taste, and the lights are abit too much imo!

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Wed Jun 06, 2012 11:29 pm

Thanks, still wondering wether to keep the lights Wink

But as you might have read, I still have tons of plans... want to try alot of different things and looks. Probably will end up with two looks (a winter and a summer one).

wow awesome.. cant wait to see what you do with that, btw why are you changing loom?

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:47 am

Very nice, looking forward to all the pictures to come! And talk about rain... It's been raining here the last week straight, and they are calling for the next two weeks. I don't have a garage and I am itching to work on my car! haha. This is Canada, not Britain. Razz

Subject: Re: Rachids XLi to GLTSJDMi+ project Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:40 pm

Yeah the rain is quite annoying! Sad

As for Ishaq's question, I'm changing the looms because I want the power headlight adjustment option Smile

Which (in our country) was only delivered on the '96 model. (Mine is a '94 one and XLi, so this is the second loom swap just for additional options Wink
